As We value our lives and health, we
should give more attention to the sub
ject of ventilation and to keeping all
parts of the house in a sweet, fresh clean
condition. The cellar is the greatest
source of trouble. Whatever gases ger
inmate there penetrate the whole house.
The cellar, therefore, should be fire.
quently examined, and all decaying veg
etables and fruits removed. Lime is al
ways excellent for keeping the cellar in
more perfect order than it otherwise
can be kept. There ought to be ventil-
lation in every cellar, but IN absence of
ventilation a coat of good whitewash
and little lime kept in the cellar for
absorption of the dampness will be
advisable. This winter, especially, We
should keep the premises in Just the
best possible condition that when spring
and summer come, we may hold forth
no special invitation TO cholera. 1t is
considerably more than possible that we
may be visited by cholera next summer.
